All my family on that side of the state talks like that. Drives me nuts when I visit some of them. Cant tell what the hell they are saying. Couple two tree cracks me up. I remember when I was a kid my grandpa would always ask me to go down into the basement and get a couple two tree beers from da fridge.

As soon as I moved here (south-central PA) I started answering to my new name "Jawn". ...and also that everyone, when they are about to hang up the telephone says... "Umm Bye".
